(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Hervé Blondon. Strewn with lovely, precise images, this quiet reminiscence features a boy from a musical family who, along with his father, finds solace in playing the piano after his mother's death. The amber and rust-colored tones of the refined, stylized illustrations reflect the nostalgic glow that permeates this poignant, sophisticated story. An afterword gives historical background on "Für Elise."
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
